His fingertips traced
a hidden path on her skin.
It was like he followed the river courses
her bloodstream created deep within.
And they dreamt together
thinking lonely thoughts
about the city they once had loved.
"How was Florence?"
"It was lovely!"
"Was it different without me?"
"Florence will always be different without you!"

Life is a journey
A journey of time
Where a heart needs another
To give it a shine
We're all on a journey
With two paths to take
One that is right
And the one that can break
With many a set back
We'll find hard to bear
It's love and true friendship
That will help us to care
For a heart that is lonely
Can fill up with strain
Like a plant that can wither
Without sun and rain
So together when sharing
Surely we'll find
it's the treasure of life
That can give peace of mind

I took this a few weeks ago in Yosemite during a fall trip with @alexandernavaphotography It's hard to explain how much I love California, but our state has had a hard time this year due to all of the fires we have had. The area I live has been hit especially hard with the Camp Fire destroying the town of Paradise which is only a few miles from Chico and of course the Carr fire over the summer in Redding. I am heartened to see so many people donating time and money and supporting one another during this difficult time and the tireless work of our first responders. If you feel so inclined, donations to www.nvcf.org will be kept 100% local to the fire victims. Tough times don't last but tough people do.
